===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.

Mrmazda: explain why to modify urpmi.cfg; include alternative change

==Mageia Trinity Repository Installation Instructions==
[[Category:Documentation]]
[[Category:Installation]]

===1. Configure the URPMI repository (as root user)===

====For Mageia 9 (R14.1.0)====
In order to avoid curl mishandling of redirection, to first '''{ }''' pair in file /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, add line with string '''curl-options: -L''', or add '''-L''' to existing curl-options line if not already there present. Alternatively, add a line in the same location containing '''downloader: wget''' to use wget as Mageia's downloader instead of curl.

If you are using 32 bits distribution:
urpmi.removemedia trinity trinity-noarch
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga9/trinity-r14/RPMS/i586</nowiki>
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity-noarch http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga9/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch</nowiki>

If you are using 64 bits distribution:
urpmi.removemedia trinity trinity-noarch
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga9/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64</nowiki>
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity-noarch http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga9/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch</nowiki>

====For Mageia 8 (R14.1.0)====
To first '''{ }''' pair in file /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, add line with string '''curl-options: -L''', or add '''-L''' to existing curl-options line if not already present.

If you are using 32 bits distribution:
urpmi.removemedia trinity trinity-noarch
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/i586</nowiki>
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity-noarch http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch</nowiki>

If you are using 64 bits distribution:
urpmi.removemedia trinity trinity-noarch
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64</nowiki>
<nowiki>urpmi.addmedia trinity-noarch http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch</nowiki>

===2. Install the Trinity desktop environment===

urpmi trinity-desktop

===3. (Optional) Install your locale translation package, e.g for French translation===

urpmi trinity-tde-i18n-French

Koffice translations:

urpmi trinity-koffice-i18n-French

K3B translations:

urpmi trinity-k3b-i18n-French

Note: you can obtain a list of available TDE packages with the following command:

Mrmazda: /* Recent addition to Mageia page */

= Recent addition to Mageia page =

Hello [[User:Mrmazda|Mrmazda]],

I'm writing in relation to your most recent addition to the Mageia installation page:

To first { } pair in file /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, add line with string curl-options: -L, or add -L to existing curl-options line if not already present.

Could you please clarify on the page why (and in what cases) the addition of the curl "follow redirects" flag is needed? Thank you!

Mavridis Philippe (blu.256) 09:57, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@trinitydesktop.org/message/ZHD3J2K3FNJ7CJOQPLK6OPN4SIJTT56I/ explains the Mageia urpmi package management system prefers curl, which doesn't always play nice with Trinity's mirroring system.

OpenSUSE Trinity Repository Installation Instructions

2022-02-11T05:21:53Z

Mrmazda: 15.2 support has ceased; TW was missing

==openSUSE Trinity Repository Installation Instructions==
[[Category:Documentation]]
[[Category:Installation]]

===1. Remove KDE3 related packages first ===

In case you already have openSUSE's KDE3 installed on your computer, you must uninstall it prior to installing Trinity.
But even if you have not installed KDE3, you may have some KDE3 packages installed on your system.
At this time, you cannot have both working KDE3 and working Trinity on the same computer.

To uninstall KDE3, type the following command:

zypper remove arts hal kdeaccessibility3 kdeartwork3 kdebase3 kdebindings3 kdeedu3 kdegames3
kdegraphics3 kdelibs3 kdemultimedia3 kdenetwork3 kdepim3 kdesdk3 kdetoys3 kdeutils3 kdewebdev3

===2. Configure the supplementary PACKMAN repository===

Packman home page: http://packman.links2linux.org/

Instructions for configuring: https://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories#Packman

===3. Configure the ZYPPER repository (as root user)===

====For openSUSE Tumbleweed ====

<nowiki>rpm --import http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/osstw/RPM-GPG-KEY-trinity</nowiki>
<nowiki>zypper ar http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/osstw/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64 trinity</nowiki>
<nowiki>zypper ar http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/osstw/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch trinity-noarch</nowiki>

Note the last parameter of ar lines are any names of a user's choosing.

====For openSUSE Leap 15.3 ====

<nowiki>rpm --import http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/opensuse15.3/RPM-GPG-KEY-trinity</nowiki>
<nowiki>zypper ar http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/opensuse15.3/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64 trinity</nowiki>
<nowiki>zypper ar http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/opensuse15.3/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch trinity-noarch</nowiki>

Note the last parameter of ar lines are any names of a user's choosing.

===4. Install the Trinity desktop environment===

zypper refresh
zypper install trinity-desktop

The trinity-desktop package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install minimalist, substitute trinity-tdebase for trinity-desktop, and append trinity-tdm if you wish to use TDM as your display manager.

===5. (Optional) Install your locale translation package, e.g for French translation===

zypper install trinity-tde-i18n-French

Koffice translations:

zypper install trinity-koffice-i18n-French

K3B translations:

zypper install trinity-k3b-i18n-French

Note: you can obtain a list of available TDE packages with the following command:

zypper search trinity-

===6. (Optional) Sets TDM as the default display manager===

In expired support releases, edit file "/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager" and set DISPLAYMANAGER="tdm"
In currently supported releases, use "update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager" to select TDM.

Then reboot your computer.

Preliminary Stable Builds

2020-03-09T21:47:25Z

Mrmazda: Trusty was getting long in the tooth as an example

[[Category:Documentation]][[Category:Developers]]
A preliminary version of the next maintenance release - known as "preliminary stable builds" - is available for testing or routine use. Packages are only available for Debian / Devuan, Ubuntu and Raspbian.

The preliminary stable builds packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source), so you'll be able to get updates regularly

==Installing Preliminary Stable Builds==

To use the preliminary stable builds you need to add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list. 
Please replace all references to '''<your-distribution>''' with your lowercase appropriate version: e.g "wheezy" or "vivid".

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution>''' deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution>''' deps-r14 main-r14

Example for Ubuntu, 20.04 - Focal:

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14

Packages are signed using GPG key ID c93af1698685ad8b. The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. The advantage is that this method of installation is not dependent on the availability of the key server. Another advantage is that the key is not integrated into the global apt keyring, but is installed as a separate file:

wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb

==Available distributions and architectures==
